The Non-Vortex Inverse Propagation of Energy in a Tightly Focused High-Order Cylindrical Vector Beam

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
In this paper, the tight focusing of high-order cylindrical vector beams (beams with polarization singularity) was investigated. Using the Richards–Wolf formalism, there were obtained expressions for all projections of the electric and magnetic ...

Multi-twist polarization ribbon topologies in highly-confined optical fields

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2019
Electromagnetic plane waves, solutions to Maxwell’s equations, are said to be ‘transverse’ in vacuum. Namely, the waves’ oscillatory electric and magnetic fields are confined within a plane transverse to the waves’ propagation direction.

An orbital energy flow and a spin flow at the tight focus

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2021
We have shown that a reverse energy flow (negative projection of the Poynting vector onto the optical axis) at the sharp focus of an optical vortex with topological charge 2 and left-hand circular polarization arises because the axial spin flow has a ...

Spin–Orbital Transformation in a Tight Focus of an Optical Vortex with Circular Polarization

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
In the framework of the Richards–Wolf formalism, the spin–orbit conversion upon tight focusing of an optical vortex with circular polarization is studied.

Tight focusing of laser beams in a λ/2-microcavity

open access: yesOptics Express, 2008
We evaluate the field distribution in the focal spot of the fundamental Gaussian beam as well as radially and azimuthally polarized doughnut beams focused inside a planar metallic sub-wavelength microcavity using a high numerical aperture objective lens.

Toroidal polarization vortices in tightly focused beams with singularity

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2020
In this paper, we numerically investigated tight focusing of cylindrical vector beams of the sec-ond order using Richards-Wolf formulae. It was shown that intensity rings where the Poynting vector was equal to zero appeared not only in the focal plane ...

Formation of an elongated region of energy backflow using ring apertures [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2019
In this paper, we have investigated the focusing of a second-order cylindrical vector beam by using a high numerical aperture (NA) lens limited by a ring aperture using the Richards-Wolf formulae.

Comparison of the shape of focal spots in terms of intensity and energy flux for a high-aperture zone plate and a spiral zone plate

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2022
Using a finite-difference time-domain method, it has been shown that focal spots generated when tightly focusing a linearly polarized Gaussian beam by a Fresnel zone plate (FZP) and when focusing a Gaussian beam with an embedded optical vortex by a ...

Absorption-limited high harmonic generation in the tight focusing regime

open access: yes, 2022
Paper HW3C.3Phase-matched and absorption-limited HHG can be achieved despite tight focusing. We present theoretical considerations and observed a conversion efficiency of >10-6 in this regime of particular importance for high repetition rate ...
